Firm Information
Overview
Phillips & Associates | Sexual Harassment, Discrimination & Employment Lawyers is a boutique employment law firm dedicated exclusively to representing employees. Headquartered in New York City with additional offices in Princeton, New Jersey; Garden City and White Plains, New York; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; and Miami, Florida. We combine local presence with nationwide reach. Our singular focus on employee rights means we never represent employers – instead, we advocate solely for you.
Our team of 18 seasoned employment attorneys, supported by experienced paralegals and dedicated staff, brings decades of collective expertise in workplace discrimination, sexual harassment, retaliation, and wage-and-hour claims. From our central hub, we coordinate complex litigation across multiple jurisdictions and leverage deep institutional resources to ensure every client receives top-tier advocacy.
Since our founding, we have secured more than $300 million in verdicts and settlements for over 4,000 individuals. We have litigated over 2,000 matters, almost half of which we resolved through confidential presuit settlements. Unlike many plaintiff’s firms that seldom handle cases above $200,000, we routinely achieve multimillion-dollar results.
Our reputation for excellence was recognized in 2023 when the American Institute of Legal Counsel named us one of the “10 Best Employment & Labor Law Firms in New York.” We understand the toll that workplace bias and harassment can take on performance, well-being and peace of mind. That’s why we guide you through every phase: investigating claims, preparing EEOC charges, negotiating settlements, and – if necessary – taking your case to trial or appeal.
To minimize barriers to justice, we offer complimentary initial consultations, flexible virtual appointments and convenient credit card billing. Choosing Phillips & Associates | Sexual Harassment, Discrimination & Employment Lawyers means partnering with counsel whose financial strength matches large defense firms but whose exclusive commitment remains with you, the employee. At our firm, your rights, recovery and dignity are always front and center.
